How have American women voted in the first 100 years since the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment? How have popular understandings of women as voters both persisted and changed over time? In A Century of Votes for Women, Christina Wolbrecht and J. Kevin Corder offer an unprecedented account of women voters in American politics over the last ten decades.

Bringing together new and existing data, the book provides unique insight into women's (and men's) voting behavior and traces how women's turnout and vote choice evolved across a century of enormous transformation overall and for women in particular. Wolbrecht and Corder show that there is no such thing as 'the woman voter'; instead they reveal considerable variation in how different groups of women voted in response to changing political, social, and economic realities. The book also demonstrates how assumptions about women as voters influenced politicians, the press, and scholars.

  • Offers the first comprehensive analysis of women's voting behavior over the last 100 years
  • Places women's electoral behavior within changing political, economic, and social contexts to show both how women were shaped by their times and how popular understandings of women shaped campaigns and contemporary analysis
  • Debunks popular and scholarly myths about women voters to show that there is no such thing as 'the woman voter'
